It's a well-known rendez-vous forcontemporary art lovers, a landmark event every autumn. The Art Basel Paris fair, which showcases French and international contemporary art, returns to the Grand Palais from October 18 to 20, 2024.
As always, in addition to the fair, which brings together hundreds of art galleries, there's a wide range of events taking place throughout Paris. Exhibitions, installations, performances: several events (often free of charge) are organized in emblematic venues around the capital, to prolong this cultural event.
TheHôtel de la Marine is also taking part in Art Basel Paris. From October 8 to November 9, 2024, the monument will host a brand-new artistic installation. The work can be visited free of charge during this period: it's a good deal not to be missed!
This year, Hôtel de la Marine honors Takis, a Greek artist who draws inspiration from nature and the laws of physics to create moving, interactive and living works. During Art Basel Paris, Takis presents his sculpture Aeolian (or Eole, after the ancient Greek god of wind). The artist reinvents the aeolian harps that make music with the wind, creating a monumental work that dances and spins according to the weather. A sculpture with simple forms, full of poetry, that should fascinate the curious.
